Thanks to all for the responses, including the warning and caveats!

I want to move forward with this project, even with my lack of HTML
experience. I'm waiting for the HTML developer to get freed up - I want to
test my plumbing code.

Once more, with feeling this time.

I believe that your question is how do I load an array into the $_POST
variable from a form. The answer is in the naming of your input fields.
If you append an [] to the end of each field, then all the fields named
the same will form an array. So ... use <input name="col1[]">.

<table>
<tr>
<td><input name="col1[]"></td>
<td><input name="col2[]"></td>
...
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="col1[]"></td>
<td><input name="col2[]"></td>
...
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input name="col1[]"></td>
<td><input name="col2[]"></td>
...
</tr>
</table>

This will return the following arrays in $_POST (assuming the form method
is POST): col1, col2, ...

Subject: [WEB400] Best Practice to Send Data to i

I need to send a bunch of data to the i using PHP. I'm reworking a 5250
subfile program that presents a data entry subfile to the user. The user
enters information into the subfile fields, presses enter, and the program
then processes each entry in the subfile.

I want to do this process in HTML and PHP. I'm thinking of displaying an
HTML table and then processing each row when the user POSTs the data. I
want to call a stored procedure to validate the data in each row.

My first thought would be to send all the data to the stored procedure as a
series of arrays, one for each column in the . The RPG developer (who will
write the code that will become the stored procedure) is looking for
basically a MODS as input. I want to keep the validation SP accessible from
both RPG and PHP.

Any ideas? Thanks!
